Mark 14:70

Simon
Fear

68 But he denied it. “I do not know or even understand what you are talking about,” he said. Then he went out to the gateway, and the rooster crowed.

69 There the servant girl saw him and again said to those standing nearby, “This man is one of them.”

But he denied it again. After a little while, those standing nearby said once more to Peter, “Surely you are one of them, for you too are a Galilean.”

71 But he began to curse and swear, “I do not know this man of whom you speak!”

72 And immediately the rooster crowed a second time. Then Peter remembered the word that Jesus had spoken to him: “Before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he broke down and wept.
